Does all services that read Packages files handle xz already ?

dose3 consumes Packages and Sources files and does not yet support the xz
format.

At least qa.d.o/dose and bootstrap.d.n rely on dose3.

Since ben is also written in OCaml it might also be affected by this.


FWIW, Ben supports more than only Gz format:

And this can be specified with a CLI flag or in the configuration file.
